HALIFAX — Police were going door-to-door in a neighbourhood outside Halifax to gather information following a 911 call indicating a woman had been forcibly dragged into a car Tuesday night and driven away.

RCMP Sgt. Al LeBlanc says officers were going through an area around Flying Cloud Drive to collect any witness accounts, while also searching for a car involved in the case.

He says they received a complaint about the incident in Cole Harbour at around 10:15 p.m., but were not able to locate the car, the suspect or the alleged victim.

The woman is described as 18 to 20 years of age with blond hair and wearing a white tank top, while the suspect was described as a black man between the ages of 20 to 30 and wearing dark clothing.

LeBlanc says the 911 caller said they heard a disturbance and a lot of yelling before the woman was forced into the vehicle, which was thought to be dark in colour and with brake lights that light up the back of the car.

He says they have not received any reports of a missing person.

However, police are hoping to obtain neighbourhood surveillance video that may have recorded the incident.
